11 Quotes Every Star Wars Fan Should Know

In short, the best lines in the Star Wars films. I’m not sure if that is shorter, but, we’ll go with it anyway. We’ve weeded out anything having to do with the force, because that’s as corny as you can get when it comes to this Space Opera.

Another bad ass moment from Obi Wan Kenobi, knowing that death is really meaningless in the grand scheme of things.

Darth Vader at his finest moment.

#10 – You don’t need to see his identification … These aren’t the droids you’re looking for … He can go about his business … Move along.
